Riecine 2020 – Chianti Classico Riserva

The wine has a bright ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is delicious, fleshy and offers delicate sweet notes of ripe fruit. It expresses the aromas of crushed wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, ripe morello cherry, red cherry jam, wild blackberry and fresh crushed cassis, combined with fragrant floral notes (fresh rose, even rose syrup, violet, lilac), with herbaceous touches (peppermint, thyme, a fine smoky side of oregano, rosemary) and spicy touches (liquorice, white pepper, cloves), as well as a hint of fresh tobacco and sap of pine in the background. The palate offers juiciness, suppleness and well-built tannins (firm, but with a fine texture). The flavors are airy, fruity and fresh: we find notes of crunchy strawberry, crushed raspberry, bigarreau cherry, fresh morello cherry, crushed cassis, blueberry and wild plum, combined with touches of wild mint, basil fresh, thyme, rosemary, with a resinous hint of pine sap in the background, as well as a delicate spicy touch (liquorice, white pepper, cumin) and floral bouquet (wild rose, violet, lilac). The finish is persistent, chiselled and expresses grippy tannins, balanced by a salivating acidity.
